  1. Introduction to VMM 2012 A walkthrough Corey Hynes | HynesITe, Inc Corey.hynes@holsystems.com

  2. Well *one* slide

  3. SCVMM 2012 Investment Areas Fabric Services Cloud Deployment • Fabric • Management • Hyper-V Bare Metal Provisioning • Update Management • Hyper-V, • VMware, Citrix XenServer • Dynamic Optimization • Network Management • Power Management • Storage Management • Cluster Management

  4. Cloud Benefits • Reliability and predictability • Applications are highly available, fault tolerant • Remediation from failure is simple (re-start, re-deploy) • Highly automated • Ratio of servers/admins is ~50:1 in enterprises today • Ratio of servers/admins is ~500:1 in “cloud” datacenters • Agility and speed • Applications are deployed, changes are made, remediation is executed in minutes • Deploying applications takes weeks in the enterprise and it needs to be days • Focus is on applications/services • Results are measured relative to service quality SCVMM 2012 is designed to bring cloud benefits to the enterprise datacenter

  5. Deployment and Upgrade • Highly Available VMM Server • Addresses key customer ask • VMM server is now cluster aware so there’s no single point of failure • Upgrade • From VMM 2008 R2 to VMM 2012 RC • From VMM 2012 RC to VMM 2012 RTM • Custom Properties • Name/Value pairs • No need to use Custom1…Custom10 • Powershell • Fully powershell scriptable • Powershell 2.0 – standard verbs, noun naming convention • Backward compatible with VMM 2008 R2 scripting interface

  6. Fabric Management • Physical Server • Manage multiple hypervisors – Hyper-V, VMware, Xen • Server hardware management – IPMI, DCMI, SMASH, Custom via Provider • Host provisioning – from baremetal to Hyper-V to Cluster provisioning • Network • Define Logical Networks using VLANs and Subnets per datacenter location • Address management for Static IPs, Load Balancer VIPs and MAC addresses • Automated provisioning of Load Balancers via Provider • Storage • Storage Management using SMI-S • Discover storage arrays and pools • Classify storage based on throughput and capabilities • Discover or configure LUNs and assign to hosts and clusters • Rapid provisioning of VMs using snap cloning of LUNs

  7. Fabric Management • Update Management of Fabric Servers • Update operation control (On-demand scan and on-demand remediation) • Updating a Hyper-V cluster is fully automated • Integrated with Windows Server Update Server • Dynamic Optimization (DO) • Cluster level workload balancing scheme to optimize for VM performance • Leverages live migration to move workloads • Power Optimization (PO) • Leverages live migration to pack more VMs per host • Powers down servers to optimize for power utilization • Enhanced Placement • Over 100 placement checks/validation • Support for custom placement rules • Multi-VM deployment for Services

  8. Private Clouds Private Cloud • Abstraction that enables opaque usage model for service and VM management Fabric • Compute: Logical grouping of hosts or clusters in host groups • Storage: Storage Classifications, Pools, Providers and Arrays • Network: Logical Networks, IP/MAC Address Pools, Load Balancers, VIP Templates Delegation - User Role • Quota: Defines per-user limits on compute, memory, storage, number of VMs

  9. Cloud Capacity Cloud can expose • Aggregate capacity of underlying resources (vCPU, Memory, Storage) • Oversubscription is allowed Dimensions of Capacity • vCPUs • Memory • Storage • Number of deployed VMs (VMs in Library are not counted) • Custom Quota (to support quota points from VMM 2008 R2)

  10. Cloud Capabilities Cloud can • Host highly available VMs • Allow VMs to use dynamic disks or differencing disks • Enable network optimizations VM “shape” limits • Processor Range (i.e. 1 - 4) • Memory Range (i.e. 16MB – 32 GB) • Number of disks (0 – 7) • Number of NICs (0 – 7) • … Built-in set representing underlying limits for Hyper-V, Xen, VMware

  11. Self-Service Users Revocable actions – fine-grained action control • Author, VM Control, Read-only Quota – 2 Types of Quota • Shared – total usage of all members of the user role • Per-user – usage of each member of the user role Dimensions of Quota • vCPUs • Memory • Storage • Number of deployed VMs (VMs in Library are not counted) • Custom Quota (to support quota points from VMM 2008 R2)

  12. Service Lifecycle Management • Service Templates • Used to model a multi-tier application • Source of truth for deployed service configuration • Applications • Built-in support for Web deploy, Server App-V, SQL DAC • Custom command execution for other application packages • Image-based • OS separated from apps • Composed during deployment • Servicing • Change the template and then apply that change to deployed instances • Upgrade domains ensures application availability during servicing

  13. Services - Shareable Among Application Owners An application owner authors the service template and then shares that template with his team to deploy the application Shareable Objects • Resource group – group of on-disk library objects which user considers interchangeable • Profiles (Hardware, Guest OS, Application, SQL) • Templates (VM, Service) • Virtual machine • Service
